What is least you have ever spent after browsing a big box store where there is millions of dollars of assorted merchandise to choose from?

I spent $60 for a membership to Costco and after browsing through their acres of merchandise on display I bought nothing and got my membership fee refunded because I found out where I usually shop their no-name brand prices are cheaper than Costco 'wholesale'.

    I love Costco and usually can’t leave there with out spending a couple hundred dollars but was there last night and spent only $40. I now have enough olives and dish detergent to last me 6 months.

    While I was there I noticed the check-out line-ups were 'a mile' long. They don't have enough check-out places in that store. I have a mobile disability is why I didn't care much about spending time searching for stuff. 
    My favored shopping place is Superstore.

    It's been a long time since I've been to one. There are big enough packages of everything I need in a regular grocery store. I did get good deals on books and household items when I was a member years ago.

    You might have to go directly to a tilde factory and order them by case lots.
